Infections in ICD10 are coded somewhat inconsistently. There are #Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied and [[[#Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately]]. #Coding Antibiotic Resistance should also be done when there is one.
Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied
Some infections are coded as single codes that imply the pathogen:
Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately
Some infections need to be coded as Combined ICD10 codes of the condition and the pathogen. For example, Pneumonia, bacterial and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Potential Infections
They can also be coded with diagnoses that can potentially have a pathogen, but don't require one. These are usually disorders that may or may not be infectious in nature.
Coding Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is combined-coded, see Antibiotic Resistant Organism for more info.
